IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

• Do not store or use gasoline, or other flammable liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product

labels for warnings regarding flammability and other

hazards.

• Do not operate the refrigerator in the presence of

explosive fumes.

• Avoid contact with any moving parts of automatic ice

maker.

• Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause

severe cuts, and also destroy finishes if they come in

contact with other appliances or furniture.

CHILD SAFETY

Destroy or recycle the carton, plastic bags, and any exterior

wrapping material immediately after the refrigerator is

unpacked. Children should NEVER use these items to play.

Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, plastic sheets or

stretch wrap may become airtight chambers, and can quickly

cause suffocation.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own dedicated

115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only electric outlet. The power cord

of the appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding

plug for your protection against electrical shock hazards. It

must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-

prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. Consult a

qualified electrician. Do not use an extension cord or

adapter plug.

• If the power cord is damaged, it should be replaced by the

manufacturer, service technician or a qualified person to

prevent any risk.

• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on the power

cord. Always grip the plug firmly, and pull straight out

from the receptacle to prevent damaging the power cord.

• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning and before

replacing a light bulb to avoid electrical shock.

• Performance may be affected if the voltage varies by

10% or more. Operating the refrigerator with insufficient

power can damage the compressor. Such damage is

not covered under your warranty.

• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled by a wall

switch or pull cord to prevent the refrigerator from being

turned off accidentally.

• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground Fault Interruptor

(GFI) circuit.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR REFRIGERATOR OR

FREEZER

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation

are not problems of the past.

Junked or abandoned

refrigerators or freezers are still

dangerous – even if they will sit for

“just a few days.” If you are getting

rid of your old refrigerator or

freezer, please follow the

instructions below to help prevent

accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigerator/ freezer:

• Remove doors.

• Leave shelves in place so children may not easily climb

inside.

• Have refrigerant removed by a qualified service

technician.

INSTALLATION - CONNECTING ICE MAKER TO WATER SUPPLY

WARNING WARNING

WARNING

To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or

severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator from

electrical power before connecting a water supply line

to the refrigerator.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

To Avoid Property Damage:

• Copper tubing is recommended for the water supply

line. Water supply tubing made of ¼” plastic is not

recommended since it greatly increases the potential

for water leaks. Manufacturer will not be responsible

for any damage if plastic tubing is used for supply

line.

• DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas where

temperatures fall below freezing.

• Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can

damage the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected

to soft water, ensure that the softener is maintained

and working properly.

IMPORIMPOR

Ensure that your water supply line connections comply

with all local plumbing codes.

Before Installing The Water Supply Line, You Will Need:

• Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, flat-blade screwdriver,

and Phillips

screwdriver

• Access to a household cold water line with water pressure

between 30 and 100 psi.

• A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD, copper

tubing. To determine the length of copper tubing needed,

you will need to measure the distance from the ice maker

inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator to your cold water

pipe. Then add approximately 7 feet (2.1 meters), so the

refrigerator can be moved out for cleaning (as shown).

• A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to your

household water system. DO NOT use a self-piercing type

shutoff valve.

• A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting the

water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.

AUTOMATIC ICE AND WATER DISPENSER

HOW THE WATER DISPENSER WORKS

The water tank, located behind the drawers in the refrigerator

compartment, automatically fills as water is dispensed. For

proper dispenser operation, the recommended supply water

pressure should fall between 30 psi and 100 psi.

After the refrigerator is connected to the water supply, fill the

water tank by drawing one glass of water. It may take about

1½ minutes after activating the dispenser paddle before water

begins to fill this first glass. Continue flushing the system for 3

minutes to rid the tank and plumbing connections of any

impurities. The water dispenser has a built in shutoff device

that will stop the water flow after 3 minutes of continuous use.

Simply release the dispenser paddle to reset the shutoff

mechanism.

HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -SIDE MOUNTED

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the

freezer compartment. After the refrigerator is installed properly

and has cooled for several

hours, the ice maker can

begin making ice within 24

hours. Air in new plumbing

lines may cause the ice

maker to cycle two or three

times before making a full

tray of ice. To begin ice

production, lower the wire

signal arm to the "down" or

ON position. With no usage it

will take approximately 2

days to fill the ice container.

The ice maker turns off automatically when the ice container

becomes full. To stop the ice maker, lift the wire signal arm until

it clicks, and locks in the "up" or OFF position.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

Water pressure must not exceed 100 lbs. Excessive

pressure may cause water filter to malfunction.

Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener can damage

the ice maker. If the ice maker is connected to soft

water, ensure that the softener is maintained and

working properly.

OFF

Wire

Signal Arm

HOW THE ICE DISPENSER WORKS -REAR MOUNTED

The ice maker and container are located in the top of the

freezer compartment. After the

refrigerator is installed

properly and has cooled for

several hours, the ice maker

can begin making ice within

24 hours. Air in new plumbing

lines may cause the ice maker

to cycle two or three times

before making a full tray of ice.

Ice production is controlled by

the ice maker’s On/Off power

switch. Press the switch to the

OFF

“O” position to turn it Off and press it to the “I” position to turn it

On. With no usage it will take approximately 2 days to fill the ice

container. The ice maker also has a built-in wire signal

arm,which automatically stops ice production when the ice bin

is full. This signal arm should not be used to manually stop the

ice maker.

The ice maker produces 4 to 6 pounds of ice every 24 hours

depending on usage conditions. Ice is produced at a rate of 8

cubes every 75 to 90 minutes.

Because of new plumbing connections, the first production of

ice cubes may be discolored or have an odd flavor. These

should be discarded until the cubes made are free of

discoloration and taste.

ICE DISPENSER TIPS

• Ice cubes stored too long may develop an odd flavor.

Empty the ice container and ensure that the wire signal

arm is in its “down” or ON position (side mounted) or the

ice maker’s On/Off power switch is turned On-set to the “I”

position (rear mounted). The ice maker will then produce

more ice.

• Occasionally shake the ice container to keep ice

separated.

• Keep the wire signal arm in its “up” or OFF position (side

mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch turned

Off-set to the “O” position (rear mounted) until the

refrigerator is connected to the water supply or whenever

the water supply is turned off.

ICE AND WATER DISPENSER FEATURES

The ice and water dispenser conveniently dispenses chilled

water, and ice cubes or crushed ice, depending on the model.

To operate the ice dispenser, select the ice option desired

using the touchpad. Press a glass against the dispensing

paddle as far up as possible to catch all ice. To stop

dispensing ice, pull glass away from dispensing paddle. Do

not remove the glass until the ice has completely dispensed.

(Complete instructions for the dispenser operation are

attached to the inside of the freezer door.)

minutes, the dispenser motor may overload and stop.

The overload protector will reset automatically after 3

or 4 minutes.

CLEANING THE ICE DISPENSER

Clean the dispenser and ice container at regular intervals,

particularly before you take a vacation or move, or if the ice

dispenser sticks.

1. Stop ice production by lifting the wire signal arm to the

"up" or OFF position (side mounted) or the ice maker’s On/

Off power switch turned Off-set to the “O” position (rear

mounted) .

2. Remove ice container by lifting up and out. Empty and

carefully clean the container with mild detergent. Rinse

with clear water. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Allow ice container to dry completely before replacing in

the freezer.

3. Remove ice chips and clean the shelf and chute that

supports the ice container.

4. Replace the ice container. Lower the wire signal arm on

the ice maker to the "down" or ON position (side

mounted) or the ice maker’s On/Off power switch is turned

On-set to the “I” position. (rear mounted)and the ice

maker will resume production.

• If a large quantity of ice is needed at one time, it is best to

remove cubes directly from the ice container.

• The following sounds are normal when the ice maker is

operating:

• Motor running

• Ice dropping into ice container

• Water valve opening or closing

• Ice loosening from tray

• Running water

• Stop the ice maker when cleaning the freezer and during

vacations.

• If the ice maker will be turned off for a long period of time,

turn the water supply valve to the closed position.

FOOD STORAGE & ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

FOOD STORAGE IDEAS

Fresh Food Storage

• The fresh food compartment should be kept between 34°

F and 40° F with an optimum temperature of 37° F.

• Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces

the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven

cooling.

Fruits and Vegetables

• Storage in the crisper drawers traps moisture to help

preserve the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time

periods.

Meat

• Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so

leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces

does not occur.

Frozen Food Storage

• The freezer compartment should be kept at 0° F or lower.

• A freezer operates most efficiently when it is at least 2/3

full.

Packaging Foods for Freezing

• To minimize dehydration and quality deterioration, use

aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer bags or airtight

containers. Force as much air out of the packages as

possible and seal them tightly. Trapped air can cause food

to dry out, change color, and develop an off-flavor (freezer

burn).

• Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer wrap

prior to freezing.

• Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.

Loading the Freezer

• Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at one

time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate of freezing,

and can raise the temperature of frozen foods.

• Leave a space between the packages, so cold air can

circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as

possible.

• Avoid storing hard-to-freeze foods such as ice cream and

orange juice on the freezer door shelves. These foods are

best stored in the freezer interior where the temperature

varies less.

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest

part of the room, out of direct sunlight,

and away from heating ducts or

registers. Do not place the refrigerator

next to heat-producing appliances such

as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this

is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of

insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator

operate more efficiently.

• Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.

• Refer to this Use & Care Manual for the suggested

temperature control settings.

• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the

refrigerator run more efficiently. See the

Care and

Cleaning Chart

on page 18.

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents.

Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use

more energy.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them

in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up

inside the unit.

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.

Remove as many items as needed at one time and close

the door as soon as possible.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS & SIGHTS

UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR

Your new high-efficiency refrigerator may make unfamiliar

sounds. These are all normal sounds and soon will become

familiar to you. They also indicate your refrigerator is operating

as designed. Hard surfaces, such as vinyl or wood floors,

walls, and kitchen cabinets may make sounds more

noticeable. Listed below are descriptions of some of the most

common sounds you may hear, and what is causing them.

A. Evaporator

The flow of refrigerant through the evaporator may

create a boiling or gurgling sound.

B. Evaporator Fan

You may hear air being forced through the refrigerator

by the evaporator fan.

C. Defrost Heater

During defrost cycles, water dripping onto the defrost

heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound. After

defrosting, a popping sound may occur.

D. Automatic Ice Maker

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin.

E. Cold Control & Automatic Defrost Control

These parts can produce a snapping or clicking sound

when turning the refrigerator on and off.

F. Condenser Fan

You may hear air being forced through the condenser

by the condenser fan.

G. Compressor

Modern, high-efficiency compressors operate much

faster than older models. The compressor may have a

high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.

H. Water Valve

If your refrigerator is equipped with an automatic ice

maker, you will hear a buzzing sound as the water

valve opens to fill the ice maker during each cycle.

NOTENOTE

NOTE

Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a

sound insulator.

IMPORIMPOR

ANTANT

ANT

During the automatic defrost cycle, you may notice a red

glow in the vents on the back wall of your freezer

compartment. This is normal during the defrost cycle.

IMPORIMPOR

IMPOR

ANTANT

ANT

Your ice maker is shipped with the wire signal arm in the

ON position. To ensure proper function of your ice maker,

hook up water supply immediately or turn ice maker OFF

by lifting the wire signal arm until it clicks or locks in the UP

position.

I. Drain Pan (not removable)

You may hear water running into the drain pan during

the defrost cycle.

J. Condenser

May create minimal sounds from forced air.

CARE & CLEANING

Keep your refrigerator and freezer clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean both sections at

least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do

not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.

Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

CAUTION CAUTION

CAUTION

• When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may damage the

floor. Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.

• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

• Never use CHLORIDE to clean stainless steel.

NOTENOTE

NOTE

• Turning the freezer and fresh food controls to “O” turns off the compressor, but does not disconnect electrical power to the

light bulb or other electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the

wall outlet.

• Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the appliance surface when removing adhesive

labels. Any glue left from tape or labels can be removed with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent, or, touch the glue

residue with the sticky side of tape you have already removed. Do not remove the serial plate.
